Abstract :
The education of students in Medical and Nursing Schools is a prime candidate to benefit from the promises of simulation-based learning tools. Well designed computer based systems have been shown to have a dramatic impact on the learning of students. At the same time, the design of these learning tools is still a pain staking task. In this paper, we share our experience at developing and testing a game-based environment for training nursing students.
